Thank Tulip It’s Friday. Or you could say ‘Black (and white) Friday’. Last night she came up with the perfect way to get my attention. She climbed into my USB cable box and fell asleep. Production ceased until she woke up, I didn’t have the heart to move her.

Happy Thursday from Tulip, she’s always watching, furry paws at the ready, ready to butt in and ask what you’re doing.

‘Super Monkey Ball Adventure’ (2006), £4, PSP. A seemingly simple, but infuriating game that I first played on iOS. Try to resist throwing your console across the room mid-game ;-)

I got the @akaipro.bsky.social MPC One+ back on the table, it should fit well into the new setup. I just installed the new MPC 3 operating system, and Tulip is helping me check it out.

#whiskerswednesday there are worse things in life than waking up next to this little pest. Maybe the cold weather is forcing her to be more cuddly, maybe she’s just learning to like it, who can say? Just to be clear, she's yawning, not hissing :-)

Also from today's trip to the park, not sure what's happening here #winter #birds #parakeets
A leaf-shaped note pinned to a tree, it says 'Parakeets go home, stop the birds', with a drawing of a parakeet on it.

‘Rush Hour 2’ (2001), £3, UMD. I loved Jackie Chan’s movies, back to Police Story, Wheels On Meals, etc, but his US efforts never won me over, tho I haven’t seen this one yet. Shall I brag again about that time I met him? No, maybe not. Oops, I just did :-)

Mostly - not always - I record my ambient tunes as stereo files and use different tools to refine them. Usually while drinking coffee.

Tulip Tuesday! I just like calling it that. Anyway, here she is, getting more used to hew new backpack, she’s been voluntarily climbing in, and has stayed in even when I drop the lid down (not zipping it yet). I hope I’ll get to talk her out for a few trips soon.

‘Crash Tag Team Racing’ (2005), £8, PSP. One of the few PSP games I’ve made time to play, so far. Like millions of other people, I enjoy straightforward kart racers like this.

Tulip spends the late pm and early evening asleep in her hammock. As the night progresses, she sits under my chair, always available for a quick fight or play with her wiggle toy (which you can see at the bottom of this pic).

Play-fighting - I think. A foggy morning, 31st December 2016. I used to enjoy getting last photos of the year on the 31st, and first photos of the new year the day after.

Mess with that belly at your own risk. I have to say, it is worth it, though.

Tulip’s always lying in wait when I leave the bathroom; can’t go past without acknowledging her somehow.

I’m running out of decent photos of our late and beloved Tina, so let’s make the most of it for this #caturday. A fairly typical pose for her, letting me know that I’d had enough screen time and she needed some attention.

‘Driver 76’ (2007), £6, PSP game. Old school graphics, and a soundtrack to match, inclined the Stranglers, Blondie, etc. I haven’t played this game yet so I don’t have anything else to say about it :-)

So glad it’s the weekend, so Tulip can take a break from her heavy schedule of snacking, frolicking, and sneak sock attacks.

‘XXX’ (2002), £1, UMD.
Kind of an extreme sports James Bond movie, as I remember. Rammstein are in it, which is weird because I thought it was Velvet Revolver! This movie must have seemed perfect for the PSP target audience of 15 year old boys.

Tulip looks ready to seize the day. Which will probably involve snacks, naps, and savaging soft toys. We should all be so lucky.

‘Fantastic Four Rise Of The Silver Surfer’ (2007), £2, UMD. This would’ve been the worst FF movie, except for the Trank one. But I always liked this cast, and Chiklis works well in his physical, non-CGI suit.

It looks like my plan is working, and Tulip’s getting used to her new carrier. She likes to sit in there and watch me through the window.

Tulip hasn’t moved for nearly 90 minutes; this may be a permanent attachment!😂 #cats

Setting up to record the track I posted about earlier - we're recording a take of what we'd planned to do live before Saturday's set got cancelled #spokenword #ambientmusic @novationmusic.com
